The Nevada City Film Festival actually started in 1980. I know, because I and two friends started it. Our first guest was six-time Academy Award-winning director Frank Capra of IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE fame. The second Festival, presented the following year, featured MGM musical director Vincente Minnelli (of GIGI and AN AMERICAN IN PARIS fame) as well as legendary Looney Tune director Chuck Jones, know for his classic Bugs Bunny and Road Runner cartoons.

This is good history, and well-researched. I wish the narrator has asked someone how to pronounce "Nevada," though--especially because of the number of times it's used in this video. That said, it's a fun and interesting trip through a town I lived in for 12.5 years, and love to this day.

Great job!

[@ARavenSpeaks]

Lola Montez is known locally as “The SpiderDance Lady”, for a provocative dance she performed. I have lived here my whole life. Her house is still an historical site

My grandfather helped build the old Purity store, which is still standing

[@PaulRacko2]

The way she says "Nuh-vah-duh" lol. Definitely not a local.

[@Rick_PH]

No doubt. Only flatlanders say Nuvahda City. And she got Lola Montez's lover's name wrong. It was Ludwig, not Louis.

[@timk2527]

It’s pronounced na-VAD-a not the Bay Area pronunciation you hear on this video

Sitting here in Nevada City cringing every singe time she mispronounces my city

[@jenniferhudson-gensler1147]

Don't try to educate if you can't even pronounce the name of the city correctly. I can't even finish watching it because it's like nails on a chalkboard.

[@rojm]

nice

[@kurtpeterson315]

The woman needs to learn the proper way to pronounce the word Nevada.

[@Kme218]

Hearing you mispronounced Nevada 1000 times is irrigating

[@katecrossrhodes]

Who cares how she pronounces Nevada ... what is wrong with you people?

[@Kme218]

Sorry, irritating
